If you interpret the following stats accurately there were approx, 351,000 jobs added on October 2017 with unemployment dropping to 4.1%. Still these stats are skewed taking into account approx 275,000 workers leave the workforce every month and the recent practice of counting part-time employment and not factoring in people who have given up looking for work. So actual unemployment is most likely 3-4 times the reported number and 351,000 - 275,000 accounts for a paltry 76,000 actual jobs created.
But on the upside this is one of the few times in recent history there has actually been positive job growth showing that increasing circulation through lower taxation will benefit everyone, But until we see our manufacturing base return and real monthly hiring consistently at 500,000+ monthly there isn't that much too get excited about. At this time next year though we should have a much better indicator of how well things are really going.
As far as Trump taking on Pharma? It appear that won't be happening anytime soon.
